Forget it! Email Marketing is DEAD ⚠️⚠️⚠️ It is old as hell and nobody opens these spammy-looking emails anymore.
Word-by-word what this customer told us before doing email marketing.
And HE is NOT WRONG!
Sending 50% OFF emails every other day to the whole subscriber list is like trying to land a date with the same pickup line over and over.
On the other hand, systematic email flows together with custom weekly campaigns DOES bring the results.
Why?
Because customer receives the RIGHT message at the RIGHT TIME.
By mixing sales-oriented emails with VALUE-DRIVEN & EDUCATIONAL content, you basically make subscribers EXCITED to receive another email from you.
Best part?
